Any or all artist would agree with me that one of the most anticipated film of the year so far has to be Alice in Wonderland. producer Tim Burton is a pure genius... he's like the ALEXANDER MCQUEEN of movies. his visions are epic and mind blowing. checkout some pictures from the upcoming movie...

I was very much inspired by Tyra's B.I.O. campaign. with that said im dedicating my blog to it!! you can do your part too!! heres a letter from Tyra herself!!...

"Women of every age, race, religion, and ethnicity have struggled in their lives with the narrow concept of beauty. The reason I created America’s Next Top was to show the world that s of all kinds can be beautiful. Every ’s unique look is important to me - from the thin, plus-sized, short, very tall, ebony to porcelain skinned, the quirky, clumsy, shy, outgoing and all in between.

It’s not easy though because many people still put beauty into a confining, narrow box. So now, I’m asking women around the world to make a pledge to expand their definition of beauty. To put all types of beauty into the spotlight. Think outside of the box. It’s time for you to celebrate and help redefine beauty. Let’s rejoice and embrace “non-traditional beauty”. Pledge that you will look in the mirror and find the unique beauty in you. I also ask that you spread love and positive beauty messages to others. Tell your friend, family member or even a stranger that their atypical features are flawless.

Make a video, 30 seconds or less. Tell us your first name, where you’re from, and what you’re going to do to expand the definition of beauty. You can talk about accepting and celebrating yourself or your big plans to redefine beauty. You can also show us you in action doing your thing! Then, upload it on the video player and write any comments below it. Can’t wait to see you! I’m going to be looking at every single one. Seriously.

I’m trying to expand this beauty thing y’all. One at a time. Thank you so much for joining me. It’s gonna be fun.
